- Chapter 1I love motorbikes. I wasn’t rich, per se, but I had five of them in my little garage. My mom used to hate that I took one of my babies wherever I went instead of driving a car like normal people.Fuck normal people.They don’t know the joy of riding long distances in the fresh air, all the way out into the countryside—without a helmet—as the wind caresses your hair.Aah.I must have closed my eyes while riding because the next thing I knew, my baby had run over a boulder. The bike came to a…
The plan Randal had come up with looked good on the surface. Genius, even. Take two immature teens who were very clearly attracted to each other and use one to get the other to do what you wanted. There was just one thing Randal hadn’t accounted for: my business savviness. Sure, I wasn’t some Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos-level mastermind, but I liked to think I knew enough about the world to see through schemes like that. The little act Randal and I pulled back on the street, him pretending to leave…- 190.4 K • Ongoing

After the first day, it had become a game of sorts between us, one I was oddly enjoying—but I wouldn’t let…

- “Are you serious?” I asked incredulously. “They’re offering me a knighthood again? Despite everything?” William nodded minutely. “They are. But this time, you have to accept it if you say yes. You can’t back out at the last moment.” “Of course,” I agreed. “I have no quarrel with the Crown or the government now that they are doing the right thing. Don’t forget, if I pulled a stunt like that again, it would look bad on me because my reason for rejecting it has been fulfilled…

- “$1 million,” Mum replied.“Holy…” I stopped myself before Mum could intensify her gaze any more. “Didn’t Dad say that musical rights are cheaper?”“Your Dad doesn’t know everything.” Mum smiled, “It all depends on the perceived value of the product. While most musicals are cheaper compared to their movie counterparts, this will be more expensive than the original because its budget was too low and stage actors have their minimum wages set at a much higher rate than film actors.…

- The music started with the iconic Hedwig’s theme before melding into something original, created exclusively for the last Harry Potter movie.

- I felt ecstatic. Seeing the people around me clapping as if their lives depended on it was amazing. I know most people clap more enthusiastically at premieres because of the cast and crew's presence, but it still felt wonderful knowing that the film we had spent so much time perfecting had resonated with viewers. I turned towards the movie's writer, Evan Spader, who looked close to tears. I could understand that sentiment. Your first movie is always special. I still remember attending that first…
